Collin’s worried that the numbers will be lower if Champions are held on the Sunday. Collin: We can ask the Royals if we can hold Fencing Champions during the 3-4 hour afternoon Heavy Fighting. Decided it would be bad etiquette. Discussed and decided: Clean up kitchen and the Castle Wall on Saturday. Fencing Championships starting at 10am followed by a short Baronial Court. Breakfast with the Baroness will consist of leftovers and will be done during Fencing Championship and Court. No organized Heavy Fighting tournament will be held (pick-ups can be done). All activities ending at 2pm with clean up from 2pm to 4pm. Signs: Collin googled yard signs and found a company (Signs on the Cheap) that makes yard signs. Passed around estimates: 25 each of left turn, right turn and straight ahead SCA signs plus 50 white stakes for $297.16. 50 of each of left turn, right turn and straight ahead SCA signs plus 100 white stakes for $367.06. We’ll table it until next time. Dru will look into more options. Pennsic Creature doesn’t have an answer as to whether or not we’ve gotten the same spot. Valery is working up a sketch for our land. Valery bought a white board for the week’s schedule. We don’t know who has the buckets and shovel. Ciaran has collapsible shovel and Genevra and Andre have buckets (they arrive on the 6th). K & Q Archery Championships: Collin looked into it. They said that because of the amount of involvement the Archery Champion has in the event planning, they’ve want it held in the area in which the champion lives. New Business: Peach: What did we decide about a new storage shelter for our things with Creature? We’ll discuss at the next meeting. Motion made to adjourn and seconded. top
